  title: Formlabs Web API
  description: >-
    The Formlabs Web API (Dashboard Developer API) provides remote monitoring
    and management of Internet-connected Formlabs products registered to a
    Dashboard account. It exposes read access to printers, prints, resin tanks,
    and cartridges, an event history feed, and full CRUD management of printer
    groups and their print queues. Typical use cases include automated reports
    on printer and material usage, job history exports, and integration of
    printer status into ERP / MES / custom systems.
